EINSTEIN "The Last Record Player" CD Player
So how many cd players to Einstein make, One.
Why?
Well if you make free yourself from the constraints of build and manufacture cost and devote your entire time to making the best product that you can make then you are not likely to be disapointed by the result and neither are your customers.
To quote Einsteing themselves: "we do not make a single component that has been strategically developed to a certain price point or with specific features that would cater to the mass market. At EINSTEIN, we develop products instead that elicit joy and stimulate forgetfulness from the daily grind – products we want to own ourselves. Good music, whether during a live performance or at home with a high-quality stereo, is part of a well-lived life."
More of a musical instrument than A piece of Hifi, wonderfull design and finish allied to a very musical performance. you can tell in the first 10 seconds that the designers love and enjoy music, the emotion pours forth from cd's with abundance. This does not sound like a CD player in a traditional sense, you are not constantly reminded of CD's shortcomings.
In a way this reminds me of Zanden, don't get me wrong the Zanden is the superior product and is at the pinnacle of CD Technology, but the Einstein takes you a fair way down the path and is a very musical performer. Call us for details. |

Medea D/A Converter"Whoa!
That was my first reaction to the Medea. Oh my was my second.
I wonder if can afford to buy this thing? That was my third.
I’ve never heard a digital processor resolve as much
information as this one does. The Medea unveils loads of
detail -- through the high, mid, and bass regions -- to
the point where I was scrambling for disc after disc to
determine if what I was hearing was some sort of illusion.
It wasn’t. " - SoundStage |

Arts DRIVE 1 MK 2 There was nothing about
the Accustic Arts Drive 1 I didn't like or secretly wished
to be different. It's build like a tank, looks like a fine
piece of jewelry, doesn't lack any features I'd consider
essential and definitely performs in the areas of heightened
presence lock with vocals, more percussive incisiveness with
transients and better visibility into the micro-data domain
of recorded acoustics. Considering the going rates for competing
options, its selling price resides on the lower end of the
scale and, though not insignificant, actually makes it into
one of the more affordable contenders in this admittedly
specialized and rarefied sector.
